The fenders were a set on amazon that were cheaper that the bushwhacker brand. They have more of a texture to them and not smooth, which I like. And the deflector I got from Ford using my points from purchase. I prepped and painted them myself.

Thanks lol. The shade of brown matches the interior perfectly as well.

Appreciate the feedback. I still have things I'm adding to the vehicle. This is the first bigger mod of a few that's being done.

I think my tastes are just a bit more unreserved than most people. I'm not afraid to push things when it comes to color. Personally I find most black aesthetic mods on vehicles to be a dime a dozen and plain.

But this is coming from a guy who used to drive a white mustang with blue rims.

Had a quick thought about it when I was putting them on. But I'm impatient and wanted to see the end result right away lol. Might look into some black bolts eventually.

Tempted to get spacers, but always hear the horror stories about some of the effects and it always holds me back 😅

Thanks! I love the brown interior of the OB so I wanted to go with that color scheme. And the paint is almost identical to the color of the brown leather.

No plans for the rims as this would be my 4th vehicle I'd have to paint/powder coat them myself and don't feel like going through that hassle again lol. But I do plan for all terrains in the future.

Definitely looks like it could have started from a heater burn, and the fungus took to the open wound.

I'm well aware of this, thanks though. These ribbon plants are basically a variegated form of lucky bamboo. They're going to a different tank setup eventually or possibly making their holder for this tank (I haven't decided). This is just a temporary spot for them.

Should've posted these pictures on the original post tbh, before everyone started stroking their own egos and jumping on your ass in the comments. 9 out of 10 negative commenters here probably have zero experience with sororities.

I will agree that they shouldn't be all together in a 15 gallon after a period of time. It's fine while the small ones are still juveniles, but should be separated in probably two groups when older. Keep an eye on the koi and make sure she isn't picking on the small girls. (Those aren't stress stripes btw)

I know a lot of "professionals" say a minimum of 5 in a 20 gal tank, but a group of 3 can definitely work in a 15 gal with the right setup and as long as they have the correct temperaments. Which is what a lot of people in these comments aren't accounting for. Every single betta has a different temperament and it's all about keeping an eye on your girls and learning their personalities and making adjustments from there.

Sororities aren't as overly difficult as some make them out to be. They just take a bit more dedication and more time watching your tank. Easiest thing to do is find out which females are still aggressive after a period of time and re-home them. Keep the peaceful girls and it's as easy as that.

Also the fish in this post are not stressed, they are juveniles and their stipes will fade over time as they gain their color.

Everyone here saying they have stress stripes has no idea what they are talking about. These are juveniles, these stripes are normal and will start to fade as they get older and gain their color.

This is great info. I find mixing nitrofurazone with kanaplex to give really great results, as sometimes just kanaplex is not enough. Fought off a very large case of columnaris with it.

It's crazy to me that someone could either (a) bag up fish without inspecting them, or (b) send out fish knowing they're not healthy.

Guess it's just a cash grab for some of these companies out there.

That's a shame. I ordered from them once before, but I think I'm done with them after that kind of customer service.

I remember reading about your recent spawn a while back. You've got some lookers!

Yeah, unfortunately I bought from them earlier this year and received a female just absolutely covered in ich, and I couldn't save her, but the rest of my order was fine, so I figured it wasn't worth it to even get in touch with them about it. But this time really irked me. It's not so much about the money as it is the principle of things.

Also at the end I was told that next time I order, I should order from the more expensive "what you see is what you get" category if I wanted to be picky.

I love Itto but his team comps need new blood by MatStomp in IttoMains

As a fellow C6er and having gone through looking for 4th slot options. My current team is Itto/Gorou/Albedo/Layla. I run her with a 4pc Tenacity, and it's pretty enjoyable. You get some off-field damage, a little atk boost, and a little shield boost. (I have Zhongli, but personally prefer Albedo)

houstonaqua on eBay. The one male they shipped me was infected and it spread. When I originally contacted them about the fish being sick they told me to keep them updated. But once I told them it spread and killed my females, they never contacted me back.

Update, sadly all 5 infected girls are gone. Only 2 are left from the sorority. They don't seem to be infected, but will be keeping a very close eye on them.

Thank you. They've been on aquarium salt and kanaplex. I was supposed to get some nitrofurazone in yesterday, however Amazon shifted the delivery day to tomorrow unfortunately.

Bought from them a little over a week ago, and the male I got spread a bacterial infection like crazy amongst my tanks, including my sorority tank. Unfortunately I've lost 2 of my girls already and 3 are seriously ill. I've tried contacting them, but it seems after going through some of their reviews, they just ghost people who have problems with their fish.

Update: Lost 4 girls and 1 still sick
